SERIOUS EXPLOSION
OF Natural Gas Over at Martins Ferry,
Yesterday.
TWO MEN VERY BADLY BURNED.
The Accident Occurs at q Street Opening
Over the Mains
THE VICTIMS NOT FATALLY HURT.

Last evening about six o'clock an explo-
sion of natural gas occurred at the corner
of Hanover and First streets in Martins
Ferry, whereby Noah Burton, assistant
for the Wheeling Company,
and James Iaing, bystander, were severe
IL burned. At the point named the Wheel
ing Company's Hanover street main
branches of from the Water street pressure
main. and the regulator, valves and other
fixtures necessary to reduce the pressure for
house service. are located in an under
ground box about six ieet deep and built
of heavy plankiDg A safety pipe passes
from this box to the inside Of the
curb. and extend into the air several feet.
This safety pipe is intended 10 carry on
apy leakage which may occur in the Tegu-
lation box before described.
Yesterday morning one OF the valves got
out of OIder and commenced leaking, and
later in the day, some mlschievous person
lighted the gas at the top Of the waste or
safety pipe. Superintendent Burton hap
pened along in his buggy and noticed the
blaze, and opening up the box went inside
70 close the valve or otherwise stop the
leak. He descended through the trap
door into the box, and after being there a
few minutes James Laing came by and
seeing the door open stopped over 1t
to see what was going on within.
He had scarcely assumed this position
till terrific explosion took place, which
blew him over backward, and burned HIM
severely about the head, hands, face and
arms. A moment later, Mr.. Burton came
ND from the box with his whisSers burned
oil, and the skin peeling of his face, neck
and hands. He was horribly blackened
and discolored, and presented heartrend-
ing sight. A gentleman who happened to
LIE riding with Mr.. Burton IN the buggy,
came To the assistance Of the unfOrtunates
and helped them to the buggy and drove
70 Ong's drug store, where DR.. Blackford,
DIR. Ong and his assistants and several
other gentlemen did all in their power TO
alleviate the sufferings of the injured men.
At first no cause could be assigned for
the accident, but il soon became apparent,
that opening the trap-door relieved the
pressure in the safety standpipe, and al
lowed the fame to run back into the box,
exploding the gas it contained.
Mr. Noah Burton is Assistant Superln-
tendent for the Wheeling Natural Gas Co,
and resides in KirkwoOd, in Bridgeport
He il q married man and
the father of three children. His
INJURIES it is hoped are only superficial,
although be is suffering great pain in his
lungs, and head, either from being burned
or from the explosion. James I.aing IS a
single man about twenty-five years Of age,
and lives in Martins Perry. His injuries
are confined TO his head and bands, aud Is
not thought to be dangerously burned.

disappointment. Even the balcony scene
and it was picture of bewitching beau
ty which will long remain imprinted upon
the memory-gave little indication Of the
tremendous emotional power which the ac-
tress displays as the story hastens 10 its
close. In the scene where Juliet is
cursed by her father, turned aside by her
mother and apparently deserted by her
faithful nurse, Miss Mather first begins to
display power which has already made
her the peer of Adelaide Nelson, and ranks
her as the first emotional actress Of to-day.
1t cannot Justly be said, as is sometimes
said, perhaps with truth, Of great artists,
that glamoF was thrown over the audi
encc which warped the Judgment the stage
operatives, with their unseemly and ap
parently useless clamOr between the acts
and during the most impressive scenes,
and the other homogeneous incidents Of the
stage work, destroyed anything approach
ing glamor. The actress captivated the
audience, and did 50 solely by the exercise
of an emotional power seldom, if ever, dis
played upon the stage of Rochester thea
ter.
at has sometimes been said that Miss
Mather's acting lacked genuine warmth
and sincerity. 1t is not a present fault.
No intelligent author who witnessed the
parting between Juliet and Romeo in

MARGARET MATHER
The Celebrated Actress to Be at the Opera
House the Coming Week.
TWO GREAT ROLES TO BIZ ESSAYED,
The Lady as She Appears as Juliet and
"Juliana."
THE OPINION OF 4 LEADING CRITIC.

The REGISTER yesterday announced the
coming of Miss Margaret Mather, the
charming and talented artistic, who Is to
appear in an engagement OF three perform
aness at the Opera House, on Friday and
Of the coming week. This morn
ing we are enabled to present engravings
of Miss Mather in her two leading roles,
Outlet" in Romeo and Juliet" and
''Juliana," in the old-time comedy OF
1.-The HONEYMOON" Romeo and Juliet"
is to be given Saturday afternoon, aud
The Honeymoon" at the Saturday evening
performance, the engagement opening on
Friday night with Leah, the Forsaken."
There is little need of referring to Miss
Mather's ability. She stands easily hrst
among the artistes now upon the Ameri-
can stage, and her engagement will, with
out doubt, be the leading event Of the
coming season Of 1873 in Wheeling.
The Rochester Democrat Chronicle OF Au-
gust 30th, in which city Miss Mather
opened the season, said of her as Juliet"
Margaret Mather is not a stranger in
Rochester. In the early days of her ar
tistic career she appeared in this city be-
fore many of those who were present last
evening. At that time it was said of her
that, while it was impossible to estimate
her abilities by ordinary standards, she
displayed the characteristics OF genius.
Three short years have produced results
which are little short of marvellous, and
her portrayal Of the character of Juliet
last night, measured by the most rigid
standard, was almost absolutely perfect. 1t
Vas a revelation 10 her former auditors.
Every crudity of action has disappeared.
THE earlier scenes in the tragedy give
little scope for the exercise Of
Miss Mather's power, and it would
not be strange if the love max
ing scene in 'Capaulet's' hall, was a

that her acting lacked genuine warmth;

ITO analyze all the scenes in the great

the lower end Of the State are booming and
the extension of the Ohio River road to Hun
tingtOn is being pushed rapidly forward,
about twenty-five miles of track having

Panhandle CoBes IS Usual Takes the
Lead.

LeaO.
Messrs. Simon Baer's Sons, the leading
wholesale grocers and coffee roasters OF
this city, have undoubtedly made great
hit in their Pan Handle coffee. Their eN'
hibit attracts more people and their pat
rons leave better satisfied after having par
taken of q cup of their delicious beverage
than with anything else at the Fair.
Their display as usual was gotten up with
that degree Of enterprise that has hereto
fore characterized this firm; in fact they
never do anything by halves, they Will
either be inst or not st aii.
Their exhibit occupied the large middle
space Of the east wing OF the Main Exposl-
ton Hall, and was made up OF thousands
OF pounds of pound packages OF their cele-
brated Pan Handle coffee, which with
their attractive labels and their neatly ar-
ranged sacks of Briggs Patent flour, and
other fine brands of goods of which they
make a speciality, formed altogether one OF
the r3est interesting features in the Main
Hall.
Scarcely visitor passed without stop
ping 10 secure a cup OF their palatable
LIQUID, which, with plenty of cream and
sugar, was dispensed free to everybody,
and il re may Judge from the many ex-
pressions OF sstisfaction from those who
partook of it, the popularity OF the Pan
Handle coffee is certainly we'll deserved,
Tor ladies and gentlemen alike declared
thai il Ras undoubtedly the best they had
ever drank.
